1. Simply, the fear of being basic, as defined as an excessive use of "like," totally," or "OMG." Basicness is also
associated with an addiction to Starbucks Coffee or
Dunkin' Donuts. Other signs of this affliction include, but are not limited to: only wearing/purchasing overpriced name brands (
Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Lily Pulitzer), taking frequent selfies, and getting new acrylic nails weekly.
2. The repulsion that occurs when surrounded by basicness.
